Happy 4th birthday Lucy!

Lucy turned 4 on the 8th. Lucy was such a quiet baby and so agreeable. She is so grown up now and sharp. I love being able to see my children grow up. Earlier this year she would call me "mother" and she would remind me to call her "daughter". She loves to pretend talk on her phone to her cousins. Her favorite color is purple. Lucy loves riding her bike outside and following Mom around the house. She loves to talk to people. She is watching everything and repeats a lot of what people say!

First day of school 2009-2010

We were all excited to start school this year.

Ginger was so excited to start 1st grade, that the day before she got up, dressed, and ready to go. It was a different outfit than the one she wore to school. We had several outfits laid out weeks before.

George didn't look back when he ran off to 3rd grade. He was anxious to see old friends.

Callie was nervous but way excited. She has the same 5th grade teacher as Carson had last year and Aunt Nancy had 11 years ago.

Carson is excited to be in the oldest grade in the school, a big 6th grader.

Lucy is excited to be in "Momma Pre-school" with me and Liza. She is also excited to go to the mall while the kids are at school. We'll see how often that happens!

And Liza just loves to laugh, smile, and eat! We are so happy to have her in our family. The children are all really good with her. Lucy has said several times she wants her to go back inside me then come out again and have a different name or come with a little brother. One of the names was "cupcake with purple frosting and purple sprinkles".
